Hello,

I replaced the LED on one of my window switches for my 86 5000CS T. The LED is smaller than most of 
the LED's  I have used in other electronic projects. Check out your local electronic supply house where 
I'm sure you can locate the right size. The LED is polarity sensitive and the resistor value can be changed 
if the replacement LED is not bright enough. Soldering the LED in place is a little tricky, there is not much 
room to work with.

 Measuring the existing resistor value may help you  choose the correct LED.
 If you figure (14 Volts-voltage drop across LED)/(resistor value) = current.
 Most LED's require 5-20 milliamps to work correctly.
